Ciara Preps “Overdose” As Next Single, Unveils Cover Artwork

Ciara‘s highly excellent self-titled album may have failed to make as much of an impact as everyone hoped this summer, even off the success of “Body Party,” but there’s hope yet: She’s prepping the release of one of the LP’s very best tracks as her next single, and this one actually has a fighting shot on mainstream radio.

Yes, the searingly great “Overdose” has been selected as CiCi’s latest, and it’s a monster: Probably the purest pop track on the album, the fizzy pop tune made buzz when it leaked in half-finished form last year and sounds even better in its final version. If there is any justice on the charts (although we all know there isn’t), it’ll be a radio smash.

Ciara also unveiled the cover artwork for the song, which is typically provocative. Par for the course for the sultriest chick in the game.

The song impacts radio on October 14. Prepare your body for yet another party.
